Love these wine. Combination of rocky earth, smokey meat, lifted florals, and intense and pure black/blue fruit. So beautiful yet so impactful given the energy they have.

What a wine! Hauntingly aromatic. Lots of red and black fruits, sweet almost, violets, roses, pines, herbs, spice. The palate's super concentrated (fruit), licorice, meat, kinda stemmy, hints of (pleasant) greeness. The brett really adds to complexity here. Overall a finely balanced wine that tingles the senses. Would be great to revisit it in a couple of years.
Update: Decanted overnight. Brett was very prominent on the nose. Hmmm. Palate showing more meatiness, cured meat almost.
